Getting Published: Tools and Help

Consult a subject specialist and liaison librarian

We have librarians who specialize in subject areas from economics to chemistry to urban studies and more.  These librarians know the literature in the field, as well as the best tools for finding the books, articles and data you need.  

Consult a subject guide

The subject librarians mentioned above have created online guides to share their expertise - these pages list the best databases, web sites and tools you can use to find the information and literature you need for your own research.  There are also guides on data, standards, patents, GIS and other types of information that are not subject-specific.
